1 Million Cups - Orlando Weekly Meetup
UCF Business Incubation Program – Orlando, 3218 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL, 32803, United States
If you love and support entrepreneurship and small business, there’s no better place to be on Wednesday mornings! We meet every week to support and learn from each other and entrepreneurs around the country.
Created by the Kauffman Foundation (one of the largest philanthropic, entrepreneurial & venture capital organizations in the world), we host a weekly educational meetup where entrepreneurs educate us about their business ideas for 6 minutes, and we share our wisdom and feedback for 20.
Each week, two entrepreneurs tell us about their businesses, and we ask them questions that not only teach us more but also help the presenters hone their own presentations.
Next week, we will hear from Luis Salgado of ChekdIn, an application that allows merchants to create coupons and reward customers who check in and post to their social networks when they are at the place of business. We will have details on our second speaker as they become available.
**We meet at the UCF Business Incubator at 3218 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32803.**

Making Paid Search Profitable. Google Adwords and Microsoft Ads
Industrious Orlando, 300 South Orange Avenue, Orlando, FL, 32801, United States
Google Adwords and Microsoft Ads can be confusing and quite frankly, expensive. Most businesses that start with a paid search program, usually end up stopping due to outrageous costs or lack of analytics. In this presentation, we’ll go over the different ad types, programs and analytics. We’ll focus on service providers such as real estate agents/brokers, lawyers, insurance agents, healthcare practitioners, etc…anyone who provides a service and is looking for clients.
The event is free, lunch is provided by Industrious Orlando and we have a zero spam policy. No gatekeeping, no courses or books to buy…just good, clean knowledge you can use for your business.
